The first WJC sponsered show of the season, Watsonville was held in October. The birds are still rough looking at this time if year. It is tough to find birds ready to show with everything still molting. We had champion with a young deep brown that hadn't molted yet and reserve with young red born early in the season . What a way to start the year . Our second show in Fresno Ca, was held on Nov. 7th and 8th along with the CCPC. Again a great show, with 40 birds. Small show with 4 breeders showing. The birds are in a little better shape, but still lots of pin feathers. Champion was Kite #1822 bred and owned by me. Reserve Champion was a very nice white from Henry Davis of Hanford, Ca. Best Opposite Sex - Kite hen #30 and best young - Almond #701 both bred and owned here. Congratulations Tony Picado on your purchase of kite #1822 and almond #1250. Good luck on your upcoming show. The Pageant of Pigeons is now a sweet memory. What an exciting year! I still can't believe the results, 3 championships this year. The champion Jacobin a beautiful young black cockbird bred by me out of Dennis Soares birds. Champion black #703 was also best young. We also had best red, with a yearling red cock (brown carrier) that we bred last year. Red is a new color for us, what an honor to win this award.
